University Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kevin Sittig told The Times Sunday four patients from Muddy Bottoms were admitted to the hospital Saturday — two to intensive care and two to general orthopedics. Of those patients, Sittig said one was in critical condition, two were in serious condition and one was listed as stable.

Sittig said at one point Saturday the hospital's emergency room was placed on diversion and was accepting no new patients. He said the hospital's emergency room was "overrun with trauma."

"We had at least 20 (patients) coming in at one time, but I have no idea if they were all related to incidents at Muddy Bottoms," Sittig said.

According to Sittig, three of those admitted arrived at the hospital by ground ambulance.

According to Webster Parish Sheriff's office there were five emergency flights called to Muddy Bottoms Saturday.

The park is privately owned and has its own security team, but sheriff's deputies supervise the landing zones for any emergency extractions. The sheriff's office had no further comment.

Muddy Bottoms' website showed an event called Cajun Muddy Gras was underway at the location at the time of the accidents.

On Sunday, an employee answered the phone at the park, but after The Times asked for information, the employee put the phone on hold and transferred to the voicemail of marketing director Kim Cannon.

Cannon returned The Times' call to say that the owner of the park would email an "official statement." The statement had not come as of 6:45 p.m. Sunday.

The ATV park opened in 2014. Since then there have been at least two deaths as a result of accidents involving ATV riders.

In 2015, Webster Sheriff Gary Sexton said there have been a handful of serious injuries since Muddy Bottoms opened, but the fatalities would likely will warrant a visit from the sheriff's office with the management.

At the time, Muddy Bottoms' website spelled out its alcohol policy: "Alcohol is allowed on the premises, however, all state alcohol laws apply. Minors will not be allowed to drink alcohol while in the park. Any alcohol found on a minor will be confiscated by security. (Minors will be subject to arrest/removal of property)."

"I will sit down with an open mind," Sexton said at the time. "I just think there's going to have to be some rules and regulations set out there."
